Perfect Balance 3 - Get ready to become completely immersed in this addicting physics-based game, a pressure environment that is all about balance. Perfect Balance challenges your critical thinking skills and requires creativity as well as fast decision making because every second wasted means extra points lost. At times it may look impossible. It is great for non-standard thinking development with no ”out-of-the-box” solution.

Although it initially looks like a simple figure puzzle game created for 5-6 year old kids – it isn’t that simple. This is a game for all ages, and requires a basic understanding of science – gravity, mass, geometry and how balance-beams work. Perfect balance is considered when no object is wobbling or sliding. When an object is unstable – you can see some stardust glowing on the unstable object. Although unstable objects may stand still – they may have fractional motion and this is considered as “almost perfect balance”.

Create chain reactions in this difficult physics-based brain teaser puzzle. Screw The Nut 3 is a wonderful example of a visual and interactive skill-based game where you have to carefully study the environment in each level, and then find an innovative solution by uniting two pieces of normal, everyday hardware (a hexagonal nut and a bolt). You must use your creative engineering skills to remove blocks, manipulate objects, and generally alter the game environment to your advantage (hopefully!).

Unlike previous versions of Screw The Nut, this Flash game takes place underwater – which means that you can also enlist the support of an array of fun-loving sea creatures to help you toward your goal of joining the nut and bolt together. Screw The Nut 3 requires concentration, logical thinking, determined problem solving skills, the ability to predict the movement and reactions of various items, and the willingness to learn by trial and error. The underwater environment adds a challenging gravity-based element to the mix as you take the floating nature of various objects into account. Right then – It’s time to crack this particular nut for good!

Imperfect Balance is the complete opposite to the Perfect Balance game. Also, it may initially look like a much simpler task. For example, what could be easier than putting everything the wrong way so to make it fall down? In fact, this is just a first impression. This addicting physics-based game, at times, is even more complicated when compared to its predecessor – Perfect Balance. The problem is to make all pieces and shapes fall (without leaving any standing). And when most of the pieces fall down easily, others get stuck for good, leaving you with a poor score.

You have to use limited geometrical figures (balls, squares, triangles, lines and some “force” objects) in a certain order and position in order to to make each and every piece/shape fall down through the force of the gravity. Your knowledge of geometry and physics finally can be used in practice – just by playing this game. Test yourself!
